It is the shining light that surrounds Him. I don't think He loves it. He does love you more than you will ever realize. It is hard to comprehend God's love for us who are so insignificant in compared to the universe, let alone that He care for us. It is just a fact. He created us, the enemy stole us through deceit, and God gave up His Son to suffer and die to buy us back with His blood. That is redemption. We only need to receive that gift for ourselves and thank Him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also going to post probably the most well known verse as Sonshine did, but think about it. What greater love could the Lord have but to sacrifice His own Son? This was no easy thing to do, can you just imagine this for a moment? Wow... It's mind-boggling to me, when ever I might even have an inkling of doubt. God bless you, dear. I know you're going through some hard times right now. You are on my prayer list, don't forget. In Christ's love, David.

Jesus will reclaim it someday but right now He rescues us one at a time, all who are willing. The only way that God will completely fix the world is to destroy it and start from scratch with a new heaven and new earth. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me there have been enough timely coincidences and near disasters that turned out alright or even favorable in the end that I feel confident that God does love me. Aside from sending Jesus to die for us, consider what Jesus said about what encompassed all the commandments. Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. If everyone lived by that the world would be a far better place. That's as much something God wants for us in the long run as He wants us to be saved and have eternal life.
